Vegan Boots For Wet Winter Weather

Vegan fashion: it’s all fun and games until your toes get chilly! Fortunately for the animals, synthetic materials are often more waterproof than leather, so it’s actually not too tough to find vegan winter boots. With outerwear companies spending more time and money on advancing thermal technology, it’s easier than ever to keep your feet warm and dry without harming animals. Below are some of my top vegan winter boots picks for men and women!

PS: If you’re looking for less “weather hardy” boots and prefer a more high fashion fall/winter boot, head over to my post on Vegan Fall Boots for 2018!

*Note: Some companies are hesitant to claim any of their boots are vegan because they don’t know the breakdown of all glue/adhesive materials used by their manufacturers. I consider this to be a minimal risk, especially given how many adhesive companies have stopped using animal byproducts, so I have still included those options on this list.

WOMEN

Scandinavian fashion house Ilse Jacobsen offers a wide range of vegan winter boots! While they’re labeled as rain boots, the cozy cotton fleece lining makes me think they’d also do pretty well on a mild snow day. Made with sustainably harvested rubber (no PVC!), these boots are described by the designer to contain “no animal byproducts”, which makes them extra exciting. Citizens of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden can order directly from Ilse Jacobsen, but international buyers should look to Nordstrom for the best selection.

Hunter rose to national popularity with their extremely durable, waterproof, and stylish rain boots, and last year they added vegan snow boots to match! Their boots are almost all vegan, but they do have a couple leather options, so be sure to double check the materials. These boots are crafted to provide extra cold weather insulation without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics. Shop vegan winter boots at Hunter and Nordstrom.

I own and love the Tretorn Harriet boots (pictured above in the center)- I can’t recommend them highly enough! Waterproof snow boots aren’t always fashionable and functional, but these fit into both categories! Tretorn isn’t a completely vegan brand, but it appears most (if not all) of their rain and snow boots are animal-free! Tretorn uses an EcoOrtholite high performance sock to provide sustainable warmth and comfort. Find it at Tretorn or Amazon.

Current retail prices range from $115 to $165 USD, but as of right now (Oct 8, 2018), most styles are majorly discounted!

Sorel is known for their high-quality, extremely warm boots, and fortunately they have a few vegan options! I happen to love the moonboot-style “Snowlion” boot (pictured above in the center) the most! Sorel does sell quite a few boots made with cow skin, so be sure to read the materials! Shop vegan winter boots at Sorel.

Columbia uses a wide range of materials, and quite a few of them are animal-friendly! The boots with OMNI-HEAT™ technology (using thermal warmth) seem to be the most vegan-friendly options, but don’t assume they’re all vegan without reading the materials list. Shop vegan winter boots at Columbia!

Kamik makes quite a few vegan winter boots (and they’re labeled as such!). The drawstring snow collar provides an extra layer of protection from moisture, ensuring that your feet stay dry. Please note, many reviewers mentioned that the sizing runs small, so consider going a full size up when ordering. Available from Kamik and Amazon.

Current prices range from $90 – $130 USD

Hunter rose to national popularity with their extremely durable, waterproof, and stylish rain boots, and last year they added vegan snow boots to match!

Kamik makes quite a few vegan winter boots (and they’re labeled as such!). The drawstring snow collar on the Canuck and Greenbay styles provides an extra layer of protection from moisture, ensuring that your feet stay dry. Please note, many reviewers mentioned that the sizing runs small, so consider going a full size up when ordering. Available from Kamik and Amazon.

Rated the #1 Winter Boot by Outside Magazine, Bogs’ sturdy boots will let you stay comfortable in the cold for hours! My husband is currently on his second pair (the first didn’t fall apart, he just lost them) and he constantly recommends them to people. Bogs does use leather in some styles, but the majority are made with Neo-Tech rubber. Shop vegan winter boots at BOGS and Amazon.
